What does Pinterest Scraper do?

It collects pins from Pinterest search results and returns one row per pin with:

• 🔎 Search query: every pin is tagged with the query that found it.
• 🖼️ Image URL: the full-size original image (image_url), falling back to the 736px or 474px version, plus the pin's dominant_color.
• 📝 Title & description: the pin's title and description text.
• 🔗 Outbound link & domain: the website the pin points to (link) and its domain.
• 👤 Pinner & board: pinner_username, pinner_name and the board_name the pin was saved to.
• 📊 Engagement stats: repin_count, reaction_count (all reaction types added up) and comment_count.
• 🆔 Pin ID, URL & date: pin_id, a direct pin_url, the pin's created_at date and a scraped_at timestamp.

Use cases

• Trend & content research: see which visuals and titles show up for a keyword before you create your own pins.
• Competitor & brand monitoring: find which websites get pinned for your category terms using link and domain.
• E-commerce product research: spot the products and stores Pinterest users save in your niche.
• Creator discovery: find active pinners and boards in a topic via pinner_username and board_name.
• Mood boards & automations: collect image URLs and colors for a theme, or feed pins into n8n, Make or MCP workflows.

How much does it cost to scrape Pinterest?

Pay-per-event pricing: you pay only for the two events below, with no subscription and no minimum.

Event	Price	When it is charged
Actor Start	$0.001	Once per run
Pin	$0.002	Per pin returned

That is $2.00 per 1,000 pins, plus $0.001 per run. If a query returns fewer pins than your limit, you pay only for the pins you get.

Worked examples:

• 1 query x 50 pins (the default): $0.001 + 50 x $0.002 = $0.101
• 100 pins: $0.001 + 100 x $0.002 = $0.201
• 20 queries x 50 pins = 1,000 pins: $0.001 + $2.000 = $2.001

FAQ

Do I need a Pinterest account, login or cookies? No. The Actor opens an anonymous guest session and reads Pinterest's public search results.

How many pins can I get per run? Up to 20 queries per run and up to 1,000 pins per query. In practice each query is paged through at most 25 result pages of about 25 pins, so one query tops out around 625 pins, or fewer when Pinterest runs out of results. For more, split a topic into related queries. Rows are not de-duplicated across queries.

Why are some fields empty? A field is filled when Pinterest includes it in the search results; otherwise it is null rather than a guessed value.

Which export formats are supported? JSON, CSV, Excel, XML and HTML from the dataset page, or via the Apify API.

Is it legal to scrape Pinterest? This Actor scrapes publicly available data. You are responsible for complying with Pinterest's terms and applicable laws such as GDPR, especially where the data includes personal information like usernames and names.
